Server Administrator-> This channel is now moderated(7951) TaliesinNYC: Kha's not here tonight(7936) Git: a bit of refresher would be nice(7931) Ari: maybe, I don't remember the
sarcophogi(7951) TaliesinNYC: you explored the sla-mori(7951) TaliesinNYC: going down corridor 3b(7951) TaliesinNYC: you negotiated past a few
trapped rooms(7951) TaliesinNYC: a room with an eversmoking
bottle(7951) TaliesinNYC: a lab with some frozen ogres(7951) TaliesinNYC: a chamber with yellow mold(7940) Agatha: The sarcophogus room was the
semi-entrance where we made our offerings to the gods.(7932) Vrondard: and now we have to go down
another corrodor(7932) Vrondard: we are all in room #3(7951) TaliesinNYC: at the end of the corridor,
you found a room with a single chest(7932) Vrondard: ((#g having been
explored?))(7951) TaliesinNYC: inside the chest was a
medallion. on opening the chest, you heard a spirit speak the following(7951) TaliesinNYC: So behold the first
ingredient of the ritual of invocation: a medallion of wondrous might. Six
other ingredients you must gather, each a function of the spell that shall
reopen the portal of Alindal-en. A tear from the heart of an elfmaiden, the
dust of the long forgotten dead, a lock of hair from magicka's true love, valor
against corruption, the bane of the dead, and a drop of emerald death.

To cast perform the ritual of invocation: anoint the medallion with emerald
death. Strike the medallion with the bane of the dead. Wrap the medallion in
the hands of the valorous who also holds a hair from magicka's true love,
dipped in a tear from an elfmaid's true heart amid grains of the long-forgotten
dead. Chant the ritual of invocation not once, not twice but thrice and the
portal shall be opened.

(7931) Ari: ki(7932) Vrondard: (3g)(7951) TaliesinNYC: only 3b has been explored(7932) Vrondard: ((ok... 3b))(7951) TaliesinNYC: Halthala explains that the
ritual which activates the portal requires 7 ingredients(7951) TaliesinNYC: you've found one of the
seven(7951) TaliesinNYC: the other six ingredients
are hidden elsewhere in the complex(7932) Vrondard: ((i wasnt here for the
defeat of the statue trap... assuming we figured that out))(7951) TaliesinNYC: find all seven, then she can
cast the spell and you can use the portal(7936) Git: ok, just one question; which
way's north?(7951) TaliesinNYC: north is 3b(7932) Vrondard: .(7951) TaliesinNYC: ignore the compass rose on
the map(7940) Agatha: ((Sounds straightforward
enough.))(7932) Vrondard: ((i believe im still down
hps a bit))(7951) TaliesinNYC: 3d is east, 3f is south, 2
is west(7951) TaliesinNYC: etc.(7936) Git: (thought we were healed after
reaching the end of 3b...(7958) derox (enter): 21:52(7951) DM: you were(7932) Vrondard: ((ah i do remember
something like that.. but its fuzzy))(7931) Ari: (stop taking my meds)(7951) DM: After you cleared the circular room,
you were teleported back to room 3.(7936) Git: (okey doke, we ready to begin?)(7948) Norfirion: brb have to reboot(7931) Ari (whispering): please
sir, where is Silver and the luggage?(7948) Norfirion:
Disconnecting from server...(7948) Norfirion (exit): 21:54whispering to Ari, right next to you(7958) derox (exit): 21:54(7931) Ari (whispering): ty(7940) Agatha: ((So what paths are currently
open?))(7951) DM: 3b is closed, all else are open.(7951) DM: Note that the statue is pointing
directly down 3a.(7951) DM: However the rods in the holes are in
the N and W holes respectively.(7932) Vrondard: "so where shoulda we
go?"(7965) Norfirion (enter): 21:58** (7931) Ari looks around uncomfortably very much
not happy about being way from the forest. "Looks like we're being
directed which way to go." **(7936) Git: "Might as well go
clockwise.... north
west next"
(3c)Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (7965)
Norfirion...(7965) Norfirion: Sorry about that(7951) DM: (I should clarify. you put the rods
there. no one is directing you to go anywhere. :) )** (7936) Git moves to take one of the rods out and
place it in the nw slot, then turns to his comrades, "Any other
suggestions?" **(7931) Ari: "You certain, I'd hate to
have that thing angry."(7932) Vrondard: "shur that makes
sense"(7940) Agatha: "One way is as good as
any other."(7951) DM: (3c is NE)(7931) Ari: "lay on Macduff"(7932) Vrondard: ((whoever knows how to
defeat the trap should be in charge here))(7936) Git: "Superb." :Dryly
mutters before heading nE: (hehe... got my compass backwards today)(7951) DM: (my mistake. 3a is closed. all else
are open.)(7951) DM: (apologies.)(7931) Ari: (sokay)(7931) Ari: (is the map up at the Tomara
site?(7932) Vrondard: ((map is up))(7951) DM: You head down the northeastern
passage. The floor has a slight tilt to it...(7931) Ari: yay(7951) DM: Eventually, the corridor turns a
corner and you come to a dead-end passage with three doors. One ahead, one to
your left and one to your right. There is a sickly sweet odor in the air.(7951) DM: The doors appear to be constructed
out of wood.(7932) Vrondard: "lets see whats down
here... got to find one of those six things"(7932) Vrondard: "first tunnel wasnt
that bad... eh?"(7965) Norfirion: "This is going to get
somewhat "interesting"..."(7932) Vrondard: "Git yer going to lend
yer ears and eyes to these?"(7932) Vrondard: "prolly just some
rooms with chairs and such in em"(7936) Git: "I hope interesting doesn't
mean dangerous"(7936) Git: "... yeah. Maybe the
furniture will come alive and attack us."(7932) Vrondard: "prolly is some god
forsaken wizards table gallavanting around here like a wood elemental"** (7931) Ari glances behind her a moment,
"Could be." **(7965) Norfirion: "Whatever it is, we'll
crush it. Simple, now don't worry my friend."(7931) Ari (whispering): would
the table be made of sentient pearwood?whispering to Ari, what table? lolwhispering to Ari, possible but unlikely(7932) Vrondard: "what of it Git? me or
you?"** (7931) Ari begins to worry in earnest. **** (7932) Vrondard listens at the right door (#12)
and then tried to open it **(7931) Ari (whispering): the
one Vron said was gallavanting, I will assume its a joke and he's unaware that
a table made of the pearwood could really gallavant** (7951) Silver growls **(7932) Vrondard (whispering):

whispering to Ari, was a joke(7936) Git: "I'm working on it"(7931) Ari (whispering): I
knew that.whispering to Vrondard, you hear nothing. and I
roll Listen checks. :)** (7931) Ari stands still next to Silver, straining
to see everywhere at once. **whispering to Vrondard, unlocked(7932) Vrondard: "hmm tis

protection.... **** (7931) Ari readies her bow **(7951) DM: Racks of lumber run from east to west
in this crowded room. Storage bins line the walls. In the SE corner is a wooden
cabinet with a massive iron lock on its doors.(7951) DM: (in)(7932) Vrondard: "ooh a lock to pick...
if you want someones woodwerkin tools"(7931) Ari: "Vron check behind the
door. Please?"(7936) Git: (dammit... I'm having some major
PC problems. Excuse my silence for a moment)** (7965) Norfirion enters the room and walks over
about 20 ft away from the cabinet while examining it. **** (7932) Vrondard goes inside... and does check out
the back of the door **(7951) DM: Nothing unusual...except dust.(7931) Ari: "choo"(7987) Lycanos (enter): 22:20(7931) Ari: "Cmon Silver, ... you
too."** (7951) Silver whuffs and whines **(7965) Norfirion (whispering): Can
I make a spellcraft check to see if it was constructed by magic, or such?whispering to Norfirion, sure(7965) Norfirion (whispering): [1d20+14]
-> [12,14] = (26)(7932) Vrondard: "whats wrong wid yer
pup?"** (7931) Ari wants to do the same but takes a deep
breath instead. "We are all in this together, so, please, let's go. All of
us." **** (7951) Silver growls sharply at the cabinet **(7931) Ari: "I don't think he wants you
to open the cabinet."(7987) Lycanos (exit): 22:22whispering to Norfirion, nope, but the lock
seems enchanted(7965) Norfirion: "The lock appears to be
enchanted."(7931) Ari: "I'm not so certain I want
you to open the cabinet, either."(7965) Norfirion: (is this still the same day
in game? we havent slept in a while have we?)(7932) Vrondard: "what if the thing is
in there?"(7940) Agatha: "Impressive. Let's bust

a sec and I'll send u updated spells memorized list(7932) Vrondard: "oooh what?"(7931) Ari: "I know Silver doesn't like
it, so there's a real good chance I won't either."(7936) Git: If
you never take responsibility for your actions, then you need not worry about(7936) Git (exit): 22:25(7932) Vrondard: "hmmm well can't
disagree wit dat..."(7932) Vrondard: "we can leave well
enough alone... and go on wid our search"(7940) Agatha: "Norfirion do you know
what sort of enhancement this thing has?"(7965) Norfirion: "Give me a moment"whispering to Norfirion, abjuration. Spot
please.(7965) Norfirion (whispering): [1d20+2]
-> [5,2] = (7)whispering to Norfirion, k(7965) Norfirion: "It's some form of
abjuration magick thats for sure."(7965) Norfirion: "I cant really
determine its exact purpose without the proper spells, which take longs times
to cast."(7940) Agatha: "Well, the purpose is
obviously to protects whatever's in here. I don't need any long spells to tell
me that."(7965) Norfirion has sent you a tree node...(7931) Ari: "Or kill anyone out
here."(7932) Vrondard: "well lets keep it in
there is something is alive"(7932) Vrondard: "we aint lookin fer
anything alive are we?"(7932) Vrondard: "or worse yet... dead
but moving around... ya gots to hate when that happens"** (7951) Silver pads back and forth around the
cabinet, growling.... **(7965) Norfirion: "It also could be a
simple lock radiating magic from a potent fire trap spell that will incenerate
you alive when you attempt to open it."** (7965) Norfirion shrugs and smiles with a grin. **(7932) Vrondard: "well I'm going to
check out the other door"(7932) Vrondard: "ifn yer going to open
this... let me know Git" (yeah i know he isnt here)** (7932) Vrondard goes across the hall and checks
that door as well (listen and try to open) **(7965) Norfirion: "Before this becomes an
issue, I have a spell of enlargement here that can nearly double a person's
size. This is quite deadly for someone like Agatha or Vrondard. or Git.
However, there are some who are distrustful of my magick, so I ask beforehand
if any of you have a problem recieving it, if combat befalls us?(7931) Ari: "Why is it deadly for
them?"whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+7] -> [3,7]
= (10)(7965) Norfirion: "I mean it makes them
deadly fighters, increased strength, reach, and such my las"whispering to Vrondard, you hear nothing, and
the door is locked.(7931) Ari: "Oh, it sounded as though
it would kill them."(7932) Vrondard: "locked durn it"(7965) Norfirion: "My social skills and
communication aren't the best my brethern."(7932) Vrondard: "dont be castin no
fell spells on me"(7940) Agatha: "Hmph. I'm strong enough
as is. Why don't you peddle your magic when it's more useful."** (7931) Ari smiles in apology, "I meant no
disrespect, only clarity." **(7965) Norfirion: ""Bah whatever
then, I may as well use it on the enemy for my own amusement."(7931) Ari: "How large does it make a
person?" Ari asks glancing at the ceiling.whispering to Agatha, you feel a slight bump
from behind but nothing's there.(7931) Ari: ((how high is the ceiling?))(7965) Norfirion: "It doubles its height
and increases its mass by eightfold"(7951) DM: (15')(7931) Ari: "It would work for me, I'd
become 10' tall, anyone taller might have a problem."(7965) Norfirion: "The larger the person
the better, thats why I mentioned Agatha..*cough* No offense my lady"(7940) Agatha: "And that wouldn't cause
us to be knocked unconscious when we bash our heads on an ceiling and collapse
on our comrades?"(7932) Vrondard: "hoy hoy... someone is
lookin to be cut down to size me thinks"(7932) Vrondard: "well Git can play wid
that one... on to the next one"** (7932) Vrondard shuffles down to the last door
(#13) **** (7932) Vrondard checks this as well **(7951) DM: The odor gets stronger as you proceed
down the hallway.whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+7] -> [11,7]

again.. that bodes ill for us"whispering to Vrondard, nothing, and the door is
locked(7965) Norfirion: "Nevermind, I didnt
intend I was stupid enough to simply cast it in a confined space.
"IF" the needed arised, and applicable area. You people are so simple
minded. You can't interpret anything, you need it all spelled out for you. I
think its a racial thing. *scoffs away*(7932) Vrondard: "bah... I aint want my
body messed wid..."(7932) Vrondard: "you want to make me
axe sharper or more powerful and such... then we can talk 'bout it"(7932) Vrondard: "durn fool mages...
always thinking themselves the smart ones"(7932) Vrondard: "cept they be the one
in a room all by themselves when the demons come calling..."(7965) Norfirion: "I'll save my breath on
it for now and focus on my own power then. I've been attempting to help my
fellows, but they seem hesitant, so I'll stick with my own meddlings now."(7932) Vrondard: "or when their potions
blow up and scatter the top o' there tower half a mile...along with their durn
fool heads"(7931) Ari: "Simple minded? Is he not
the one who just told me he lacked social and communication skills? I'll not
disagree on that at all."** (7940) Agatha thinks to comment back, but decides
it's not worth it. "Bah." **** (7932) Vrondard seconds Agatha's brilliant speech
**(7932) Vrondard: "Bah"** (7951) Silver growls as Vrondard checks the door.
**** (7965) Norfirion ignores everyone as he stands
stoicly looking on ahead. **** (7931) Ari waits for Silver's 'woof' in agreement.

southern wall.(7940) Agatha: "Well that's a pleasant

of the door with a stoic look on his face. **whispering to Ari, humanoid(7931) Ari (whispering): ok** (7931) Ari takes the left side, bow drawn. **(8011) No Name (enter): 22:58(8011) No Name (exit): 22:58(8011) No Name (enter): 22:58** (7940) Agatha clears away some sawdust and sets

aside to let Vronard enter. **** (7932) Vrondard enters the room... looking for
what could be in here **(7951) DM: This is a small, cramped chamber that
absolutely REEKS of unwashed bedclothes. There is an unmade bed and a small
table. The stone floor is filthy.** (7932) Vrondard looks around for a creature **(7951) DM: The chamber is empty.(8013) Git: "Eesh.. this place could
really use a keeper"** (7965) Norfirion searches around for secret doors.
**(7931) Ari: "It may have one, do you
want to be here when it comes back?"** (8013) Git searches the soiled floor for tracks
before moving to search the bed; over and under **(8013) Git: :to ari: "Yes. We can
instruct it on the finer points of dusting."** (7940) Agatha tries to figure out what exactly
lives in this mess. **** (7931) Ari smiles at Git, "By all means, you
be my guest." **(7965) Norfirion (whispering): here's

the bedwhispering to Git, yes, more of the same. the
bed is also filthy and full of the same short black hairs that Norf found at
the base of the door in the other room** (7965) Norfirion moves around near the bed
revealing to the group a concealed door behind the bed. **(8013) Git: "I doubt it'll be to
helpful in that area, considering our guides tight lips."** (7965) Norfirion moves his hand in the direction
of 'this way please'. **(7965) Norfirion: (How wide is the door or
passage?)(7932) Vrondard: "ah.... there it be...
or should be"(7951) DM: It's not quite a door per se as it is
a filthy wall hanging that hides a rough carved passage leading to the SW.** (8013) Git looks over the short black hairs he's
gathered from the bed, and turns to Ari, "You're a wilderness gal, right?
You have any idea what this came off of?" **(7951) DM: It's 4' high and 4' wide.(7965) Norfirion: "They remind me of rat
hairs, but I'm not for certain they are Git"(7932) Vrondard: "oy... thats a tight
fit... but I reckon that be me..."(7951) DM: A bit cramped. The interior of the
dark corridor is littered with short, black hairs.(7932) Vrondard: "unless fancy drawers
here can make one o' you shorter..."(7965) Norfirion: "Hmpf"(7965) Norfirion: "Do it yourself, I
wouldn't waste my time on you."(8013) Git: "Careful what you wish for
Vronard, you can't afford to lose anymore height." :taps the dwarf
teasingly on the head:** (7932) Vrondard puts away his shield and his axe...

I have a companion, he goes where he wishes."(7965) Norfirion: "Fine I'll do this.
Everyone wait here."** (7965) Norfirion begins casting and vanishes from
sight. **(7932) Vrondard: "har... I've been

a piece of salted pork from his belt pouch and tosses it down the hall:
"Wanna go that way now boy?"(7965) Norfirion: "I'm crawling in this

minutes, I'm probably not coming back."(7931) Ari (whispering): please

force knocks him aside.(8013) Git: "Hey watch it, Norf!"whispering to Norfirion, how far do you go?(8013) Git: "Hold up. I'll follow
behind you. Or... I think behind you."(7965) Norfirion (whispering): how
steep is the tunnle now? is it too steep to come back up if i go further?** (8013) Git heads into the tunnel, moving slowly
and cautiously, trying to listen for Norf's movements ahead while trying not to
be heard himself (listen and take 10 on move silent for 19 if I can) **** (8013) Git draws his ritual dagger to the ready as
he makes his way **** (7931) Ari turns to Vrondard and Agatha,
"Should we not follow?" **whispering to Norfirion, it gently slopes
downward for about 25' and then there is a sharp drop downwardswhispering to Norfirion, so past that point it
would be quite steepwhispering to Git, ok(7965) Norfirion (whispering): throw
caution to the wind and keep goingwhispering to Git, you can hear breathing up
ahead but you can't see where he is(7932) Vrondard: "better to stay here
and rescue em if need be"(8013) Git (whispering): I
guessed that muchwhispering to Git, you hear a loud OOF up ahead(7951) DM: There is a loud "OOF" in
the distance(8013) Git (whispering): how
far?(7951) DM: (inside the tunnel I mean)whispering to Git, 25'whispering to Norfirion, that was you as you
find yourself in an increasingly tight and steep tunnel.(8013) Git (whispering): pick
up my pace to a normal sneaking speed and continue ahead, move silent roll

watching our backs. Crawling into that little hole puts us in a bad position.whispering to Norfirion, after what seems like
an interminable length of time, you find you can't go any farther unless you
shrink in size due to the space constraints.(7965) Norfirion (whispering): i
want to let out a shot so i can hear the echo and determine how large the
tunnel is below this so narrow point(7965) Norfirion (whispering): shout,
not shotwhispering to Git, after 25' more feet, the
tunnel (which slopes gently downwards) has a sharp drop of about 15' on a 45
degree inclinewhispering to Norfirion, ok, shout (and whisper
to me what you shout)(8013) Git (whispering): feeling
aroun do I find Norf?(7965) Norfirion (whispering): The
Black Wind Blows!whispering to Git, nope(8013) Git (whispering): If
I go down can I get back up?whispering to Git, you hear Norf shout "The
Black Wind Blows!"(7951) DM: Norf can be heard shouting in the
distance inside the tunnel, but his exact words are unclearwhispering to Git, possibly, if you crawled
backwards.(7965) Norfirion (whispering): ok
I'll try and inch myself way backwards, using my feet to propel my backwardswhispering to Norfirion, several more feet
forward. at least 20'(8013) Git (whispering): (GW):
(group whisper to you and Norf) "Norf, what's going on down there?"(8013) Git (whispering): crawling
backwards... will get me up a sharp incline?(7965) Norfirion (whispering): "Its
too narrow down here. I'm virtually unable to move. I'm gonna try and work
myself out."(7931) Ari: "Casting a spell, you
think?"(8013) Git (whispering): (GW):
:to norf: "Yeah.... or I could lower you a line..."(7932) Vrondard: 'dont know"(7940) Agatha: "Wouldn't surprise
me."(7931) Ari: "I hate small spaces."(8013) Git (whispering): (GW):
:to norf: "There anything down there?"(7965) Norfirion (whispering): "That
would work, the chamber gets larger again past that narrow place, but I
couldn't squeeze through. A grease spell maybe would have let me slide through
but there would be no way back."whispering to Norfirion, lots of hairs.(7940) Agatha: "Why don't you send the
wolf ahead to check it out?"(7965) Norfirion (whispering): keep
trying to move back slowly, and look for a rope from git(8013) Git: "Heh.. actually I've got
just the thing for this I think"(7965) Norfirion (whispering): "I
dont see anything except lots of hairs"(7931) Ari: "Really? As long as it does
not involve Silver."(7932) Vrondard: "I could go... or stay
here and guard our backside"(8013) Git (whispering): (GW):

Norf:(7932) Vrondard: ((latter would be better
for me... i need to put daughter to bed...))(8013) Git (whispering): (GW):
"Something tells me I'm not gonna like what's down there. How narrow is
the gap?"(7932) Vrondard: ((Baby Time! (afk)))(7965) Norfirion (whispering): "Around
3 paces or so"** (7931) Ari turns to Silver, "Stay here, and
keep an eye on ... you know." **(8013) Git (whispering): (GW):
an escape artist attempt do to slip through there?(7965) Norfirion (whispering): I'm
only 5' tall and 90lbs btw, so not sure how big u thought i was** (7951) Silver whuffs softly. **** (7931) Ari takes a deep breath puts her bow away
and draws her scimitar and begins to make her way after Norf and Git. **(7965) Norfirion (whispering): didnt
mean that like i could fit through, i was just letting you know incase you
didnt(8013) Git (whispering): (GW):

looking for it." *look for the rope and try to grab it*whispering to Git, you now hear someone behind
you** (8013) Git calls back down the hall, "Hey, is
that you guys coming?" **whispering to Ari, you can hear Norf and Git
communicating inside the tunnel(7931) Ari: "Just me."(8013) Git: "Oh welcome aboard."(7931) Ari (whispering): you
could have the luggage follow me, its in its nature.(8013) Git: :points down: "Norf's
stuck. Wanna throw stuff at him?"(7931) Ari: ""hanks."(7931) Ari: "Thanks."(7931) Ari: "Er stuck?"(7965) Norfirion: "I'm not stuck!"(7965) Norfirion: "Just moving
slowly...."(8013) Git: "Can you go forward or back
up with out help?"whispering to Ari, truewhispering to Ari, but then Silver would follow
it as well** (7940) Agatha looks at the hole and considers
going in for a moment. **(8013) Git (whispering): stan...
you there?(7940) Agatha: "No, uh-uh, not gonna
happen.** (7951) Silver enters the tunnel, whining. **whispering to Ari, right behind you. lolwhispering to Git, yes(8013) Git (whispering): just
checking ;-D(7951) DM: Eventually, Norf makes his way back
to you. (fast forwarding a bit)(7951) DM: It takes a bit of coordination and
effort but eventually, he makes it.** (7931) Ari groans inwardly. **** (7965) Norfirion brushes himself off. **(7931) Ari: "So now what? We go back or
do we go forward?"** (8013) Git hepls the wizard back up and asks hear
anything moving down there?" **(7932) Vrondard: ((bak))(7965) Norfirion: "No, I didn't"(8013) Git: (*asks, "Hear...*)(8013) Git: "But a lot more of that
black hair, huh?"(7931) Ari: ((does anyone recognize the
hair?))(7965) Norfirion: "Thats about it,
there's probably a den or something just beyond where I could progress"(7965) Norfirion: (Rat hair on my knowledge
nature check)whispering to No Name, Evin, is that you? lol(8013) Git: "Hmmm... maybe I can slip
through or.... I do have a size reduction potion. However, I'd rather not run
into a dangerous spot at one tenth my size"(7931) Ari: (Rats?)(7951) DM: (yes)(7965) Norfirion: (dunno, just thats what it
looks like)(8013) Git: (rats in a bed though...
were-rat maybe? unless they were just climbing back and forth over it)(7965) Norfirion: "I have a grease spell
as well, but like I said. I'd be hesitant to go any further. Lets just go
elsewhere for now and make a note of this place."(8013) Git: "You said you could
probably slkip through with grease?"** (7931) Ari shakes her head in disgust at herself,
"I'm only 5'4" think I could fit?" **(7965) Norfirion: "I'm not for sure,
maybe. With your potion and my spell, I think it would be guaranteed"(7965) Norfirion: "I'm shorter than you,
so I would doubt it"(7965) Norfirion: (5' tall, 90 lbs.)(8013) Git: "I don't want to pick a
fight with something as a child's doll."(7965) Norfirion: "Exactly, so lets just
move on."(8013) Git: "Alright. we'll
retunr"** (8013) Git heads back down the tunnel to room 16
**(7951) DM: (k)** (7931) Ari thinks easier said than done. "Ok
you back up, we'll going back." **** (7965) Norfirion follows along. **(8013) Git: "I wanna check that cabinet
in the other room too."(7940) Agatha: "Aye, I say we go back
and crack open that cabinet."(8013) Git: "Ays... I'll see if I can
get around that spell on it. It'll take me a while though"(7932) Vrondard: "or check out the
stinky room"(8013) Git: "Have we ever found
anything good in a stinky room?"** (8013) Git heads back to 15 while talking to the
others back in 16 **(7951) DM: (k)(7951) DM: (what's going on?)(7932) Vrondard: "alrighty"** (7932) Vrondard follows Git... his unofficial
charge **** (8013) Git moves to room 3c and checks the door to
13 for traps and locks and such to appease Vronard **** (7940) Agatha follows after, eager to see what's
inside the cabinet. **(7932) Vrondard: "twas locked.."whispering to Git, already did that. locked, not
trapped.** (8013) Git fishes out a couple of picks from his
pocket and goes to work on the door **(7931) Ari: "Magically locked, wasn't
it?"(8013) Git: (I thought the cabinet was
magically locked. I was just opening the door to 13 first.)whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+10] ->
[2,10] = (12)whispering to Git, for some reason, your pick
jams in the lock.(7931) Ari: (oops I thought that was what
you going after)(8013) Git: "What the...." :tugs
at the picks in annoyance: "Hey... this thing's trying to eat my
picks."(8013) Git: :groans:(7965) Norfirion: "It's probably a mimic,
stick your finger in its mouth and see what happens"(8013) Git (whispering): can
I do a secondary search to examine why they're jammed, for instance if it's a
trap of sorts?)(7940) Agatha: "Hmph. Let it try to eat
this!"whispering to Git, no, its just that you failed
to open the lock and jammed it. (rolled a 1)(8013) Git (whispering): oh** (7940) Agatha shoves Git aside and attacks the
lock with her axe. **(8013) Git: "FOr the love a'..."
:steps aside: "Have fun Aggy."** (7931) Ari now out of the hole sheaths her
scimitar and once again readies her bow. **(7951) DM: The door flies open, as Aggie smashes
the lock off.(8013) Git: "If you can get my pick
back too I'd appreciate it." :calls over his shoulder to Aggy as he moves
over to room 12 to focus on the enchanted cabinet.:(7932) Vrondard: "arggg"(7931) Ari: "arrggg?"(7931) Ari: "as in surprise and
alarm?"(7965) Norfirion: (shouldn't that be arrrggg
matey?)(7940) Agatha: ((No, no, no. That'd be
a-r-r-r-g-g-h-h-h.))(7951) DM: As the door flies open, the odor
intensifies....and you see why. Inside the chamber are several tables draped
with filthy gray cloths covering something vaguely humanoid. Next to each table
is a smaller wooden table with some unhealthy looking tools arrayed on top. A
large iron door is mounted in the far wall. Glass jars, filled with organs of
all sorts in clear sickly green-yellow liquid line shelves on the walls.(8013) Git (whispering): can
I take 20 to disarm the spell on the cabinet for a 29 dc?(7965) Norfirion: (but the H is silent, thats
the dwarven spelling :p)whispering to Git, ok(7931) Ari: "So, someone please, remind
me why we are here and not in some lovely druid grove?"** (8013) Git sets to work on the cabinet, laying out
his tools and meticulously studying the structure as he works **(7965) Norfirion: "Even this is beyond my
interest. Disgusting...many a art of necromancy has been practiced here."(7932) Vrondard: "blagggar..."whispering to Git, time passes. (since you're
not in the room where they are.)(8013) Git (whispering): I
know.(7940) Agatha: "What sort of unholy
ritual is this?"(7965) Norfirion (whispering): can
i make a spellcraft or arcana knowledge check to determine what this place
does?whispering to Norfirion, sure(7932) Vrondard: "I donts wanna

tempting to use. I can't say I'd be able to resist their use should I come upon

the cloths are thrown off on two of the tables and two humanoid creatures with
sickly gray green skin, riddled with maggots, hurl themselves off their tables

figure it'll be a good twenty minutes or so(8043) Evil Joe (exit): 01:40** (7951) Halthala sighs with relief. "I thank
you once again, and remain in your debt. You are truly heroes and courageous
warriors." **(7932) Vrondard: "har"(8013) Git (whispering): I
might be thinking this over wrong, but do I know if the trap is localized to
the door or is it cast for any breach to the cabinet? For instance would it be
feasilble to just cut through the back to get to what's inside?whispering to Git, if you want. but you'd have
to move the cabinet(7951) DM: (folks, if you need to go afk while
something's going on, please let me know b/c it really bogs the game down if
you're not around and stuff is going on and I don't know about it)(8013) Git (whispering): right,
which would probably set it off anyway.(7951) DM: (what's going on now?)(7932) Vrondard: ((Halthala threw me for a
loop))(7965) Norfirion: (Im here)(7951) DM: (Gautam is not.)(7931) Ari: ((sorry))(7932) Vrondard: ((like she popped out of
nowhere to say that...))(7965) Norfirion: "Whatever, lets get
through this place and get it over with."(7931) Ari: (Been here, wondering where
& what Silver is up to.)(8013) Git: :as the sounds of ruckus die
down, Git calls out: "You guys alright in there?"(7932) Vrondard: ((is she watching us all
this time? or following us like a creepy observer?))(7951) DM: ((she has been with you this entire
time, but hasn't fought (she has no armor and barely enough equipment))).(7931) Ari: ((Ah baggage))(7951) DM: ((remember that her equipment was
left behind when her friends were slaughtered.))(7932) Vrondard: "yeah were
fine.."(7951) DM: ((she is with you but cannot be
counted on in combat.))(7932) Vrondard: "you dont futzing in

do we find the next piece of the spell?"(7931) Ari: ))(7932) Vrondard: "kinda fun except for
the arms flailing around business"(7965) Norfirion (whispering): scanning
the room we killed the undead inwhispering to Norfirion, the iron door(7932) Vrondard: ((this was 13... I think we
should go into 14 correct?))(8013) Git: "Great." :speaks in a
mild tone: "Find asnything more important than 'flailing arms' though?"(7931) Ari: "those were the best
part"(7931) Ari: "could have sworn I just
asked that."(7965) Norfirion (whispering): it
lasts up to 4 minutes with concentration, so I want to scan any nearby rooms.(7931) Ari: "We don't leave here until
we seach this room. Silver?"(7965) Norfirion (whispering): I'll
just go back and check those ones on this lvl we visited earlier, just the last
few roomswhispering to Norfirion, kwhispering to Norfirion, nothing except for the
door and the lock on the cabinet in the lumber room** (7951) Silver whuffs and whines as if reluctant to
leave something. **** (7931) Ari hovers over Silver, "What have you
found?" **** (7951) Silver points at nothing in particular. **** (7932) Vrondard eyes the next door... "we got
another door here... damn doors are everywhere" **** (7931) Ari looks at the nothing then back at
Silver, whispering "the luggage has it?" **(7940) Agatha:
Disconnecting from server...(7940) Agatha (exit): 01:53** (7951) Silver whines plaintively. **(8013) Git: :calls out to Vronard as he
works: "Yes, I much prefer hung beaded curtains myself. There much more
stylish and less restrictive"(7965) Norfirion (whispering): ok
while we're wating around i want to pull out the two scrolls i have from
earlier and attempt to read them with a spellcraft check [1d20+14] ->

getting Git's drift(7932) Vrondard: ((ouch))(7951) DM: (Agatha's paralyzed as a result of
the combat. That's what the Fort save was for. )(7951) DM: (side effect of the arms attack on
her)(8054) Agatha: ((I think I'm gonna have to
run a viral scan after this session.))(7931) Ari (whispering): wanta
give me a clue? meds notwithstanding without cheese the whine means nothing.whispering to Ari, yes the luggage has it** (7932) Vrondard waits on the door if Agatha is
immobile **whispering to Ari, whatever "it" is(7931) Ari (whispering): thank
you** (7932) Vrondard just guards her like a dog... **(7932) Vrondard: Silver is welcome to
participatewhispering to Git, the lock clicks open(7965) Norfirion: "This type of paralysis
cause by ghouls and similar creatures usually wears offer in several
minutes"(8013) Git: "HehAH! Success!"** (7931) Ari sighs, "any chance of finding
someplace safe to rest? We are done in this room." **** (8013) Git pulls a dagger(just in case) and opens
the cabinet **(7965) Norfirion: "Wouldn't be a bad idea
Arianhod"whispering to Git, inside are several golden and
brass fittings, and a sealed glass vial.** (7931) Ari give Agatha a glance, "seems we
have done what was needed" then whispers "and have what we
need." **whispering to Git, The vial contains a pile of
powdery dust(7932) Vrondard: "I ain't tired....
this is going to wear off right?" asking about Agatha(8013) Git (whispering): can
I tell what they're fittings for?(7931) Ari: gives*(7965) Norfirion: "Hopefully
Vrondard"** (7965) Norfirion places his two scrolls into his
belt for easy access. **(7931) Ari: ((if it does not wear off in 4
hours you should call your doctor immediately or head to the emergency room.))(7951) DM: Suddenly a lilting elven voice speaks
inside the lumber room, where Git is located:** (8054) Agatha begins to stir. **(7951) Voice: So behold the second ingredient of
the ritual of invocation: the dust of the long-forgotten dead. Five other
ingredients you must gather, each a function of the spell that shall reopen the
portal of Alindal-en. A tear from the heart of an elfmaiden, a lock of hair
from magicka's true love, valor against corruption, the bane of the dead, and a
drop of emerald death.

To cast perform the ritual of invocation: anoint the medallion with emerald
death. Strike the medallion with the bane of the dead. Wrap the medallion in
the hands of the valorous who also holds a hair from magicka's true love,
dipped in a tear from an elfmaid's true heart amid grains of the long-forgotten
dead. Chant the ritual of invocation not once, not twice but thrice and the
portal shall be opened.(7965) Norfirion: "Finally..."(8057) DM-Cydale (enter): 02:03(8057) DM-Cydale (exit): 02:03(8054) Agatha: "Ohhh..."** (8013) Git speaks over the voice, "Yeah,
yeah, we get it already." **** (8013) Git grabs up the vial of dust and picks out
the gold fittings **** (8054) Agatha takes a look around. "I guess
it's over." **(7951) Voice: By the hand of the Ara-Cemnari, we
now return you to the chamber of choices.(8054) Agatha: "They aren't going
reform and grab us while we ain't looking are they?"** (7965) Norfirion approaches the chest where Git
had been pilfering and searches it for any hidden compartments or such. **(7951) DM: You reappear in the statue chamber,
and your wounds are healed.(8013) Git: "No, we've still got things
to do in here, but thanks." :as if the voice will listen:(7965) Norfirion: "Ah too late for
that.."(8013) Git: "Darnit."(7965) Norfirion: "Where to now? Shall we
roll a die?"(7931) Ari: "You are welcome." ** (7931) Ari glances at Norfirion, "never hurts
to be polite." **(7951) DM: You hear a slight belch from out of
nowhere, and a rat is deposited on the floor beside you.(8013) Git: "Why bother with chance?
The clockwise method works fine." :stuffing gold fittings into his belt
pouch: "East next:"(7931) Ari: "oh look dinner."(7932) Vrondard: "har"(8054) Agatha: "I guess we know where
all those hairs came from now."(7932) Vrondard: "well I guess that's
two down... "(7951) DM: The rat is about the size of a
housecat and has vaguely human-like features.** (8013) Git glances over to the regurgitated rat.
"If it shed all that hair, shouldn't that thing be bald by now?" **(7951) DM: It's unconscious.(7965) Norfirion: "Disgusting
creature"(8013) Git: (guess not)(7951) DM: (the luggage belched it out)(7965) Norfirion (whispering): knowledge
arcana [1d20+12] -> [1,12] = (13) that some form of were creature or
something?(7931) Ari: "But with the right
seasonings. . ."** (7965) Norfirion shakes his head in disgust. **(8054) Agatha: "I don't know. I prefer
it over the walking dead."whispering to Norfirion, yep(7931) Ari: "He apparently has never
gone hungry."(7951) DM: (stopping in 30 minutes folks)(7965) Norfirion: "It's a
lycanthrope....yes I do recognize this...a wererat."** (8013) Git shrugs his shortbow from his shoulder
to his hand and pokes at the odd rat thing. "Think it'll talk?" **** (7931) Ari readies her bow with its silver tipped
arrows. **(7965) Norfirion: "I'm not sure, perhaps,
but its unconcious now."(7931) Ari: "It won't talk in this
form, at least not any language we'd understand."(8054) Agatha: "A wererat? As in
instead of turning into a wolf or a tiger by the light of the moon, it becomes
a rat?"(7931) Ari: "Yes."(7932) Vrondard: "yeah... I heard of
em..."(7932) Vrondard: "aint no good... and
their a bunch a thievin bastards"(8054) Agatha: "What a miserable
pitiful life."(7965) Norfirion: "Least there aren't any
wereroaches....hehe."(7931) Ari: "I can kill it now."(7931) Ari: "Don't be so certain."(8013) Git: "hold on the killing a
second." :turns to Halthala: "Is this creature supposed to be here by
chance?"(7931) Ari: "As for the rat, it might
not be so pitiable, there are advantages to being a rat, sort of being like a
fly on a wall, rarely considered a threat unless in numbers."(7931) Ari: "And they are quite
intelligent, possibly remembering or retaining more when they turn human."(8054) Agatha: "But they become
rats."(7951) Halthala: Perhaps, perhaps not. I do know
that the creature with no eyes is an abomination that should not be here or
elsewhere. Everything that you have thus far encountered has been a
manifestation of the Ara-Cemnari....with the exception of those undead ones. I
do not know in this case.(7931) Ari: 'So?"(7932) Vrondard: "bah who cares as long
as it aint stealin yer cheese"(7965) Norfirion: "Haha"(7932) Vrondard: "leave it be... it
messes wid ya.. then whack it good"(7931) Ari: ((ooh cheese.... food what a
concept....arrgh too late))(8013) Git: "So... for all you know
he's a grounds keeper of this place?"(7931) Ari: ((the power of cheese))(7951) Halthala: Perhaps it found a way into the
dungeon and has been living here for a while. Or perhaps he is part of this
place. I am unsure.(7965) Norfirion: "Perhaps he is only one
of a hundred, or a thousand just like him?"(8013) Git: "Well. If he knows his way
around, he might be useful."(7965) Norfirion: "An army of wererats is
the last thing we need to face."** (8013) Git goes into his pack for a half-cloak and
uses it to wrap the the creature as a makeshift sack. **(7951) Halthala: He may be one of Penntamil
Verisa....or he may be simply a person who was enterprising enough to make his
way into a dungeon but not knowledgeable or worthy enough to negotiate the
tomb. *shrugs*(7931) Ari: "however if we heal this
one and its in our debt we might be able to use that to our advantage.:(7931) Ari: "(7951) DM: (fyi, 3a and 3c are now closed, all
else are open)(8013) Git: "We'll find out when he
wakes up." :hands odff the cloak-sack to Vronard to carry, rather than
hoist it himsefl.:(8013) Git: (have we been down 3b yet?)(7951) DM: (nope)(8013) Git: (ok, then)(7932) Vrondard: "whats this?"** (8013) Git moves the rod from the ne slot to the
n(3b I believe) **(7931) Ari: "I could heal it."(8054) Agatha: "What's what?"(8013) Git: :to vronard: "That's our
friend the rat, keep an eye on him, would ya?"(7951) DM: (rods were in the NW and N slots)(8013) Git: (oh, no need to move then)(8054) Agatha: "Oh the wererat? It's
nothing to worry about yet."(7932) Vrondard: "oh"(8013) Git: "Come on, lets not spend
more time here than we need to." :heads up the northern passage:
